Where in the Bible does it say Mary was born without the sin of Adam? Also the logic of Mary needed to be without sin for her to conceive Jesus without sin implies that there is shared DNA amongst Jesus and Mary. If this is the case then Jesus cannot be 100% man and 100% God. You would also have to believe that Mary herself did not sin before the birth of Christ and if she did not sin afterwards and didn’t inherit sin she would not be in need of a Savior.
Yes, I agree. Read Hebrews. He needed to be man
to represent the elect among men. Christ is
divine, priest, human and the sacrifice. Take
one out and you don’t have Christ. He was human
because he was born of a human, divine by the
Holy Spirit, an acceptable sacrifice because
of a sinless life, and the language in Hebrews
chapter 1 describes his priestly role in terms
normally reserved for a sacrifice. Chapter 1
also describes him as creator, sustainer and
heir of all things. He is the radiance of God’s
glory and the exact representation of His being.
He provided purification for sins and sat down
on the right hand of the Majesty on High. He
is the eternal mediator. Catholics show a
gnostic streak when they elevate his mother
to sinlessness.
Everything is not in the Bible?
A question?
How does Paul state that 500 people saw Jesus after his Resurrection (at one time) when it is not recorded in any Gospel?
Holy Tradition — passing the Word of God on one person to another.
